ITA's ARS has an OK story... An airline reservation system that
integrates with the legacy network of mainframes is much more
complicated than one might imagine. I believe an official there was
quoted publicly as saying something like (paraphrased from memory) that
they used Lisp because the undertaking would have not been doable any
other way. I think that their use of Lisp also helped them to attract
some of the smartest software developers.
